3d day in a row with winds from the SE to40mph.
3rd day in a row with SE winds to 40mph. Tiresome. To see how the winds effects rain, 40 miles to the west in a wind protected area like Grants Pass(aka Grants Gass) they got anywhere from 1.75 to 3 inches of rain. I got 0.38" or 5 to 8 time less. In a so-called La Niña I'm already 3" down for the so-called water year.

We finished the foney-baloney watter year(Sept to Sept) at 31.99, over5.5 inches abuv normal. We finisht the calendar year at 23.92 inches or about 2.5 inches beloe normal.. Yeah it's been dry sins the end of June. For the first time sins 1989(2nd year of a 4 year drout), thair wuz no measurable snow at Siskiyou summit(4229ft) at the end of Dec. We'v had this 1 winter storm but we'r back into an extended dry period. So much for La Niña.

Cood be the all time dud. Wind finally died down about 0145. Normally it wood start tue rain hard. Nope - lite rain and drizzel. Interestingly, the radar shoed hevvy rain in Ashland whairaz, in reality it wuz clere with the moon and stars shining britely. THat's fairly consistent with my observations over the yeres. Fluds wur reported elswhair but nuthing even close her in the Dry Valley.

WTF! BTW, we had 5.02" of precip in Ashland(aka - the Dry Valley).Grants Pass, 40 miles tue the NSW had 15.43". GP gets aboput 40% more rainfall than Ashland not 300%. The reezon - SE winds in Ashland kild the storms dedd. GP iz wind-protected. Now this last extremely wimpy front came frum the NW and had no SE wind. We got over 1|2 an inch, GP got 0.04. Unfortunately, the vast majority of storms this yeer hav cum out of the Southwest and we'r thrown into this downslope rainshaddoe crap. The Dry Valley iz the ownly place left in Western Oregon that iz still beloe normal(by about 3 inches).
(edit: total snow depth initially recorded as 7.0". changed to 0.7" to agree with other numbers from station. P.G.)

The numnuts at the NWS sed 100% chans of rain. Yeah, I gess tecknically they'r rite.

It's very dry. A seezonal pond that I cykel by in the mts. usually dries up at the end of June or erly July. It's had no watter in it for over 2 weeks and the last wet spot dissappeerd 2 days ago. Better get reddy for alot of smoke this summer Last yeer at this time I had over 8" more precip. Thair ar suppozde tue be shouers tueday but they'll probably be feebel at best.
